Glee - Theatricality - Bad Romance - Lady Gaga Cupcakes

Rah-rah-ah-ah-ah!
Roma-Roma-ma-ah!
Ga-ga-ooh-la-la!
Want your bad romance

Gotta love Gaga!

And what way to better way to celebrate Glee's tribute to Lady Gaga than to make...

drumroll please....

Bad Romance Cupcakes!!!


Rah-rah-ah-ah-ah!
Roma-Roma-ma-ah!

Okay, I should stop now... but I keep hearing it in my head!!!

Since I love Glee, and I lurve Lady Gaga why not make Lady Gaga inspired cupcakes? My idea can not be achieved by buttercream alone so I made some fondant and used it to make the miniature Gaga, the iconic heels and the topsy turvy headresses. Everyone knows that Glee + Lady Gaga = Spectacular Theatricality!

These Hershey's Devils Food cupcakes were bare but with the help of a little "Theatricality", each cupcake has been transformed in true Gaga fashion.


Little Lady Gaga. Inspired by her sort of wide-eyed look at the beginning of the video. I curled each strand of her hair one by one. I almost wish that sugar craft apparatus that makes making fondant hair easier. I wish!

The Alexander McQueen Armadillo 10-inch heels. I'll write a tutorial on how to do this on my blog in a few days.







I almost dropped the little head on the floor while I was forming it. Good thing I was able to catch it with out damaging the face. Otherwise, I would have dropped this project entirely. The head was the most difficult to make!



It all started with a sketch





Happy Cupcaking!

Hi Emily,

Thanks :)

The lips started as a little red ball, then I rolled it in my hand so it becomes oblong shaped with 2 pointed ends. I flattened the whole thing, curved the 2 ends upwards and using a cocktail stick, I drew a curve at the middle to separate the upper and lower lip then made an indentation at the middle of the upper lip to make it a wee bit interesting :)

Happy cupcaking!
